We ask our students to imagine themselves in real-life work situations, putting their photography skills to the test. But each and every situation is going to be different. It's obvious that shooting a series of landscapes will be radically different than a pet portrait session with a frisky doberman. In today's featured video, we've got a behind-the-scenes look at commercial photographer Eric Forberger, a Lancaster, PA pro who does a great job putting an entire T-shirt clad group of models at ease. Note his advice on how to change up the poses after the strobes fire. And, of course, his advice to have fun. Go to FakeLife to read about this wonderful charitable organization, and click on "Shop FakeLife" to see Eric's T-shirt and model photos.
